Your written assignment for this module should be a 2-3 page paper (not including title page and reference page) that describes the following:
J.D. is a 70-year-old man with a history of prostate cancer, being treated with palliative hormones and radiation. His admitting diagnosis is adenocarcinoma of the prostate with widespread bone metastasis. J.D. is married and has one grown daughter, who often helps with his care. His chief concern is severe back pain for which the physician has ordered intrathecal morphine sulfate and aspirin 650 mg for pain relief. J.D.’s admitting CBC shows a WBC count of 500 and platelet count of 15,000.
For this case study:

  1. List the symptoms typically seen in patients with prostate cancer.
  2. Identify the risk factors for prostate cancer, including which population is most at risk.
  3. Identify the complications J.D. is at risk for and explain the pathophysiology causing those risks.
  4. List 3 nursing problems and your goals for J.D.
  5. List at least 3 nursing interventions for each problem.

You should include a minimum of 3 references. Include a title page, in-text citations, and a reference page in APA format.

Do you think it’s possible for community health centers to once again become more community-centered in their approach to population health with the goal of improving the health of communities?

Community health centers were started to respond to the many health needs of some of the poorest and sickest communities in the nation. Centers were developed to serve the needs of communities beyond just medical care, but to provide resources for food access, housing, sanitation, and employment. Over time community health centers became known for understanding the populations they served and for offering superior primary care services. However, due to the rising costs of medical care, many community health centers veered away from public health interventions, health education, and environmental controls. Funding has been restricted to the delivery of personal medical services.
Using the weekly readings, the South University online library resources, and the Internet, research the role of community health centers in providing primary care services.
Based on your research, respond to the following:

  • Do you think it’s possible for community health centers to once again become more community-centered in their approach to population health with the goal of improving the health of communities?
  • What are some ways that they might do this?

Give reasons and examples in support of your responses. Be sure to cite any relevant resources.
Write your initial response in approximately 300 words. Your responses should clarify your understanding of the topic. They should be your own, original, and free from plagiarism. Follow the APA format for writing style, spelling and grammar, and citation of sources.
By the due date assigned, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through the end of the Week, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. Participate in the discussion by analyzing each response for completeness and accuracy and by suggesting specific additions or clarifications for improving the discussion question response.
Evaluation Criteria:

  • Explained if it’s possible for community health centers to become more community-centered in their approach to population health with the goal of improving the health of communities.
  • Recommended ways for community health centers to achieve this.
  • Responses demonstrated in-depth research and analysis.
  • Justified your answers with appropriate research and reasoning.
  • Commented on the postings of at least two peers.
